Hello everyone! My name is Ray (Rayzor61) and I live in Warrington, PA.
I am a 52 year old man who is freshly SINGLE. I am a hard core motorcycle entusiast with a lust for European cars. I've owned several BMW 5 series cars and always wanted a Jaguar because they are so sexy and because my favorite motorcycle brand is TRIUMPH from England.

Last month I saw a mint 1989 Jag XJS12 on someones front yard and fell in love with it. I'm in the middle of moving my home so I didn't give it much priority. I thought if it was still there in a month, I'd call the seller.

Much to my surprise, the car was gone when I was ready to look at it closer. I found the owners phone number in my old notes. He told me the car was still for sale but he moved it inside his garage to protect it from the weather......whewww, I was in luck.

I made an appointment to see the car and it turned out to be in absolutely mint condition. I made an offer and he countered to exactly what I was willing to pay.....Bingo, I have a new car but know NOTHING about them.

I have lots of questions. I am VERY familiar with these type of forums because of my motorcycle obsession. I can navigate everywhere but need advice as to where to start.

I want to lurk around the section most relavent to my car; 1989 Jaguar XJS12 with 60K miles. Can anybody direct me to that area that has general discussions about my model?

Thank you for your help and advice.

Ray

Welcome aboard.

XJS? Fabulous cars. A bit challenging at times, but worth the effort.

You should post in the "XJS" section.

Cheers
